 Course description

This course draws on the extensive experience the ILO has developed
in-house in a series of groundbreaking gender audits involving staff and constituents
from virtually every region in the world. 

The ILO Participatory Gender Audit Manual shall be used as reference
material for the course.

Contents

The five-day course shall begin with an overall introduction to gender,
work and development issues and an exposure to international experiences in
mainstreaming gender concerns in public administration.

It will then continue with a full immersion in the GA methodology and its
instruments. Areas such as:
• Mainstreaming of gender equality as a cross-cutting concern in the
organisation’s objectives, programme and budget;
• existing gender expertise, competence and capacity building;
• information and knowledge management;
• choice of partner organizations;
• staffing and human resources; and
• perception of achievement on gender equality.

are among the explored elements.

The organisation of gender audit teams,  desk reviews, gender audit
file preparation, participatory workshop implementation and structured
interviews shall be presented to participants in both theoretical and
practical ways.

Methodology

The course requires a very active participation, as its schedule is quite
intense. Full and committed attendance is a must.

Participants
The course is open to representatives of governments, workers’ and employers’
organizations, civil society organizations, human resources consultants and
professional evaluators. Previous knowledge of gender themes and direct
experience in promoting equality issues is required.
Preference shall be accorded to persons possessing preceding experience in
training, capacity-building, information dissemination, as the gender audit
facilitator’s role requires the dissemination of knowledge and skills
acquired.

Fluency in English language is required to fully profit from the resources
offered.
